I love emerald crabs, but have just lost another one. My tank is healthy and I thought this guy was very healthy right up until I found him dead. My only thought is my tank has the same thing as no algae and I know that is their primary food. I would try to supplement him by throwing algae...

I have a 35gal hex that I inherited when my daughter went off to college, but I have done about all that I can do with it and am ready to try a bigger tank. I want FOWLR and at least 75gal, but that's all I really know. Glass or acrylic? Bowfront? Do I dare try to save some $$ and buy a used...

Thanks!

I am curing some new live rock and this morning found two of the cutest little starfish clinging to the bucket near the waterline. My tank has clown fish,a scooter blenny brittle starfish, a fire shrimp, a purple lobster, an emerald crab, and an whole bunch of "cleaner crew". They are so cute...

Microfiber towels..you can get a pack of several of them in the auto dept at Walmart for $5. These things are awesome for getting those last streaks and lint off your tank, mirrors, smooth cooktops, stainless appliances, TV and computer screens. Once I started using them around the house, I...

I have had live rock in my tank for a few months now and it is starting to show just a few spots of pink and green, but not near enough to make me happy... am I just impatient or should I buy a few nice pieces from local dealer (we are lucky and do have a good one that I found after purchasing...

I was very concerned about mine at first also. If my experience is typical, it seems they need some time to adjust to their new environment. After awhile, mine started eating the brine shrimp and other frozen food I feed my other fish. Good luck!

I have a 35 gal FOWLR tank and I currently have one fire shrimp along with 4 clowns and a scooter blenny and a wide assortment of cleaner crew. My question is, can I add another fire shrimp or perhaps take advantage of the current special on cleaner shrimp? Really like these cute, colorful...

Do you need to use any supplements to keep your LR healthy? How about anything extra for the fish? I only have clownfish with an assortment of inverts, snails, hermit crabs, emerald crabs, purlple lobster...

I bought a horse conch from this sight....labeled as "peaceful algea eaters". I also bought two fancy nassarius snails at the same time that have mysteriously died. I have never seen the conch anywhere near anything else in the tank...alway on the glass...I assumed eating algae..but I was...

What lighting and for how many hours do I need for a FOWLR tank?? As always, I appreciate all your help!!

Do the drops in your test kits expire?? I cannot find an expiration date, but I have had some of mine for years.

Thanks for your help! My goal is fish only and I do realize I need to get rid of those mean little damsels!! I had just gotten tired of the more expensive fish dying cuz I was apparently doing everything wrong! I do have an UGF with PH and a canister filter and heater and thermometer and lots...

I have had my aquarium for approx 10 yrs with limited success. It is a 35 gal. octagon shaped purchased and set up as suggested from LPS. After reading tips on this site, I find I have been doing basically nothing right! No wonder I gave up years ago purchasing expensive fish and now have a...
